News from Troy.

TROY, S. c., March Is, 1857.
George Lane and EbeneZer Wideman, col
ored, were seriously injured by an accidental
explosion while blasting rock In well for
o'clock. Dr. \. l.. Culbcrtson was called to
attend the wounded men and found 1t neces-
Sary TO amputate two fingers for George Lane,
and also found that his eyes were severely in
iurcp, and his sight almost entirely lost. 1t Is
hardly probable that George will be able to do
uuy more work. EbeneZer Widcmans eyes
were also badly injured, but it is hoped that
he will soon be up and ut work. Both men
are doing as well as could be expected, and
are receiving the best medical attention.

Counterfeit Money.

Counterfeit money having been put in cir
culation in Greenville, detectives have been
at work, trying to discover the guilty parties.
Last Monday some two or three constables
come TO Abbeville on the train and inmedi.
ately arrested John Adams Golored, and
locked him in the county Jail. John Adams,
we believe, is charged with passing the mon-
ey, and the detectives are reported to have
said that they do not believe that he had gone
into the industry Of manufacturing or coming
the spurious money. We have not seen a
specimen of the counterfeit money. but 1t is
said the workmanship is fairly done, though
the metal is OF such a base character ms to de-
ceive no one who would examine II with care.
There Is, we believe, no silver In it, though 1t
is thought that glass was added TO the compo-
siton, to make IL ring. Upon examination OF
his person one dollar of the money was found
in the pocket book of Adams, being the same, ne
IT is supposed, that had been offered for
change at Mr.. Cunningham'S bar, few weeks
ago. The detectives are still at work, looking
for the other parties who are reported to be
connected or implicated in the offence ol
making and passing counterfeit money.

A Serious Case.

About o'clock last evening Walter Sa-
ger. man about 80 years of age, said to
have been somewhat under the influence
of liquor, took hold of an electric battery
on K street, between Third and Fourth,
with which a one-armed man named
Markham gains living by giving shocks"
to those desiring them. Markham had been
called away momentarily. but Henry Sol
daniels, or Sordinal, took charge of the ap-
parstus and gave Sager such charge that
he either became angry or frightened and
Jerked the apparatus to the sidewalk, al
most running it. 1t is alleged that Sedan
iels struck Sager in the mouth, knocking
him out into the street, where his head hit
the cobbles with great violence He denies
having struck blow, and says that Sager
fell from the sidewalk. Parties on the
other side OF the street appear TO have been
assured that he hit Sager, for one of them
called out not to strike him again or the
striker would have another fight on his
hands. Sager was picked up insensible
and taken to Hammers drug store, where
efforts WERE made to revive him, but unsuc-
cessfully. 1t was then deemed best to re-
move him to the receiving hospital, and
there he was attended by the City Physi-
clan, who, however, was unable to decide
how serious the case might be, though fear
ing fracture of the skull The injured
man had not recovered consciousness up to
late hour last night Soldaniels was ar
rested by officers Sullivan and McNiff.

if it were created for her The support
throughout was acceptable, and in the
cases of Mr.. Branscombe, Albert Breuning
and Emil Collins was up to high standard
of excellence. Miss Avery and Miss Slower
very pleasantly, if not very forcibly, per-
sonated the characters of Lucy and Mrs
Fairweather. Tonight the Cadet
Corps, CompanyssH, First Artillery Reg
iment, by the Gberality of Mr.. Grismer,
takes benefit. 1t depends wholly upon
the number of tickets these deserving and
gentlemanly young men sell, as of such
proceeds they receive half, but they have
no interest in the box Office They have
been modestly active in presenting their
claims to the people this week, but it is
not pleasant to learn thai they have been
put off with four-b pieces where they
should have received dollars. They say
they are not begging, but offering value re-

semi-military drama, which has never been
played here, and that the fund to result is
to be used for the public good in equiping
the company they represent, that il may
better do its duty to the people. 1t is to be
hoped that the young men will receive
warmer encouragement to-day. They have
placed their tickets, single and with reserve
tags, at Willis e. Rays, Ninth and
K; Fl. Fuchs, K. near Sixth; C. s..
Houghton's, J, Sixth and Seventh {;
the Metropolitan Cigar Store Fifth and X
streets, and G. W. Chesley's. Front street,
between and K, that all who wish may
procure them. There are hundreds of peo-
pie in Sacramento amply able, who ought
to respond to the appeal of the Cadets, and
make their benefit a notable one. They are
band of representative Sacramento youth,
and ought to be encouraged in their mill
tary endeavor. The play for tonight is
THE Field of Homer" It will be given
with the same cast and effects that made it
so successful at the Alcazar, San Francisco.
The Cadet Corps appears in the play. If it
hes not been so ordered, it should be- that
on this benefit night" the grand army of
free-listers should be called upon for paid
tickets.
The story OF the "Field of Honor "
hinges upon incidents connected with the
late war os the rebellion, but deals in no
animosities. It is patriotic and spirited,
and introduces numerous beautiful tab
leaux, in all Of which the Cadets will take
part There is touching vein of love and
devotion running through the play, and
which ends happily with the close of the
war and the union of the Blue and Gray

Reception Of the Old vet..-

The excursion train by which the Vet
eran Fremen of New York are on their
way to California viii arrive here at 9:15
this morning. The old boys will be met
by the Exempt Firemen's Association and
Paid Fire Department of this city, and also
the Cadet Corps, Company 81 of the First
Artillery, and the citizens Reception Com
mittee, all of which organizations, headed
by the Artillery Band, will march to the
depot in good season for the train. I'M
mediately after the excursionists arrive q
procession will be formed, consisting of the
Artillery Band. Police Department, Cadet
Corps, Fire Department, Exempt Firemen's
Association, Cappas renowned Seventh
Regiment Band, of New York, the visiting
Veterans with their engine, the Committee
of Reception, and citizens generally in
carriages.
The line of march will be from the de-
pot on Second street. to J, along J to Tenth,
Tenth to K, to Second, Second to J, to
Third, TO X, to Sixth, and from there to
Armory Hall. Upon arriving at Armory
Hall the reception committee, consisting of
thirty citizens, will receive The visiting
guests, and escort them to the collation.,
which will be in readiness in the hall. At
the collation. toasts will be offered and re-
At the close of this part of the programme
carriages will be provided and the guests
will be taken to the Art Gallery, the Capt.
tol, Agricultural Park, Suffers Fort, and
returning arrive at the Pavilion at 4Ph
The New York veterans will not only be
received most enthusiastically by Sacra-
mentans. but there will be a great rush of
visitors to the city to greet them. All old
residents of New York, especially those
who in their day ran wild der masheen,"
will be on hand if they can possibly come.
They are heard from as coming in large
delegations from every direction, and if the
city is not painted red " it will be because
OF lack of material, and-well it's apt to
be painted
The concert by Capps's Band at the
Pavilion this evening will be great must
cal event, and undoubtedly will receive
appreciation. The ladies are especially
eager to be present, and would not miss
1t for worlds" If the immense building
accommodates the crnsh, those who are
late IN arriving will have occasion to con-
slider themselves fortunate.
The following dispatch, received from
San Francisco last evening, indicates that
the visitors may possibly be persuaded to
prolong their stay in this city: AS the
funeral of Governor Bartlett takes place
Friday, the Exempt Firemens Association,
which will receive the veterans, will not
parade with the visiting fremen. Chief
Scannell and President Hudson will visit
Sacramento tomorrow to induce the New
York firemen to delay one day and have
the parade on Saturday"
